Scott Road is an elevated station on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located near the south end of the Pattullo Bridge in the South Westminster neighbourhood of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The station also serves the Bridgeview neighbourhood of Whalley, and the interchange between King George Boulevard and Scott Road is located to the north of the station.

History[]

Scott Road station was built in 1990 as part of the first extension of the original SkyTrain system (now known as the Expo Line). This extension included two stations: Scott Road and Columbia in neighbouring New Westminster. Scott Road station served as the eastern terminus of the Expo Line until a three-station extension to Surrey City Centre was completed in 1994.[2]

Scott Road station underwent several upgrades beginning in early 2013, improvements included a new elevator and better accessibly, as well as a new bus loop with an upgraded parking lot. These improvements were made in part of the larger Expo Line Upgrade project. Construction was completed in 2014.[3]

Services[]

Scott Road station is located in an industrial district, but it is an important transfer point for TransLink passengers. Unlike most stations, which rely on passengers arriving by foot or by bus, this station is also adjacent to the largest park and ride lot operated by TransLink, with 1,471 spaces and a daily charge of CAD $3.00.[4]
